Yoga
"Yoga creates the condition for the Self to reveal itself." - Swami Dayananda Saraswati
Yoga is a process of deep discovery and inner transformation. Its original promise lies not in temporary experiences but in reshaping your inner world. It uses progressive interiorization to help you move beyond the fixation with the body-mind-personality and ultimately come to rest in the still silence which exists in the core of your being. This is yoga, and this is what is at the heart of Lexa’s yoga offerings.
YOGA THERAPY
There are many approaches to yoga therapy; Lexa uses a method that gently, meticulously and dynamically decompresses the spine from the root to the top. These profoundly healing one-on-one sessions are for folks who are seeking release from pain, stress, and tension on all levels.
Specialized bodywork techniques are used to facilitate a very deep release that works from the inside out, with the centerline of the body - the spine - as the focus. Since the spine is the central axis of the body, as well as the conduit of consciousness and the container of karma, the results of opening the spine are multi-layered, including physical healing, life transformation, and inner revelation. These hands-on yoga therapy sessions are a means to understanding the body as a field of sacred discovery. Sessions are blissful and deeply healing.
This intersection of yoga therapy and bodywork allows for deep release of tight spots, leading to many benefits such as pain relief, spinal decompression, emotional resolution, mental quietude, and clearing of nadi blockages. It also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and encourages release on all levels.
Hands-on yoga therapy with Lexa is beneficial for everyone, especially those with pain, stress and tension, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, and hypermobility patterns.
PUBLIC CLASSES
Lexa’s approach to yoga is gentle with the body, accessible to everyone, and rooted in authentic teachings. Her classes are not workouts; there is no pushing, forcing or striving. Rather, she encourages students to explore their body as a realm for awakening, releasing the long-held patterns that conceal the most hidden truth: that you already are the fullness that you seek.
Lexa teaches regular weekly classes as well as special events throughout the year, all of which can be found on the Offerings page.
